Since 1976 Crime
Stoppers USA programs have paid informants for information leading to the
arrest of criminals.~ John Lamb

Bartlesville, Oklahoma
– On February 5, 2014 Crime Stoppers USA member programs reached a
milestone.Member programs have paid out
over 100 million dollars in tips to anonymous informants.

John Lamb, Chairman of Crime Stoppers USA stated “This is a
tremendous milestone for our programs.For
over thirty-eight years the public has been able to call Crime Stoppers USA
programs and leave information anonymously about criminal activity. Tips to
Crime Stopper USA programs have helped solved thousands of homicides, human
trafficking cases, have taken over three billion dollars of drugs off of our
streets and recovered over one billion dollars of property.Crime Stopper USA programs save their communities
and law enforcement tens of thousands of dollars in costs of investigations due
to anonymous tips from the public.”

Crime Stoppers USA is the national Crime Stoppers
organization that spans the United States to create a network of local programs
that work together to prevent and solve crimes in communities and schools
across the nation.Local Crime Stoppers
programs are non-profit organizations led by citizens against crime. Some Crime
Stoppers programs offer cash rewards of up to $1000 to persons providing
anonymous information that leads to the felony arrest of criminals and
fugitives. Information is received through anonymous Crime Stoppers tips that
are received through a secure tips line or through a secure web connection
manned by a professional program coordinator. Each caller is assigned a code
number for the purpose of ensuring anonymity.

Crime Stoppers began in Albuquerque, NM in 1976.Rewards are paid by Crime Stopper USA member
programs in communities across the United States and its Territories.Crime Stoppers programs can take tips from
the public by telephone, websites, text message and smartphone
application.Also, tips can be turned in
on the national website, www.crimestoppersusa.com.
